I’m thinking of renting an apartment in the sea-side town of Calpe, as I seem to be down here for team training camps more and more often each year. Quick-Step, Astana, and Katusha have all been here recently and now RadioShack are here to fight over the hard roads of the area. Press day didn’t have many journos (none), but there was a TV crew and a few photographers...and me. But no Lance!

Long time contributor Josh Horowitz sat down with Levi Leipheimer to discuss his mental approach to racing and its evolution over his career. Like any elite performer he’ll tell you that it’s mental strength that truly makes the difference.
